Adrienne Hillstrand. A normal young girl in the world with problems just like everyone else. She never considered herself special, but she was proud to call herself a Hillstrand. Her father was a very well-known crabber in Dutch Harbor, Jonathan Hillstrand. Her brother, Scott had joined the family pack a while back, and now, Adrienne was slowly being coaxed to go out on the boat.

"No way." She protested crossing her arms staring at the boat in front of her. She'd seen shows like this and knew the risks. There was no way she would survive. Plus, wasn't it bad luck to have a woman on board?

"Don't be such a prissy baby." Her brother laughed teasing her like always. Since she was the younger of the two, she was always the main target of his jokes/ pranks. She scowled at him.

"I'm up here for a purpose and one purpose only, and that is to scope out the scene for potential venues for my friend. Although, who the fuck would want to have a wedding up here? It's cold as fuck." She answered bringing her arms closer to her. She never dressed appropriately for these things. She had on jeans, uggs, and a sweatshirt with her last name on it.

"It's called compromising…something you don't do. And then you wonder why you're single." Scott joked as Adrienne mimicked him with a stupid face. They were in their twenties but bickered like children.

"Both of ya shut the fuck up and help your old man get this shit into the galley." Jonathan said walking up with some bags. The annual stocking up had commenced. Being the weak thing she was, she only carried maybe four bags, while her brother had six or seven.

"Are you absolutely positive you don't wanna come with us?" Andy, her uncle, asked before she parted ways with them.

"100%. I will be in my cozy hotel room waiting for your return but eating and getting a massage in the process." She smiled back just picturing it in her head.

"Alright, well don't do anything stupid, like see Jake." Andy commanded before she left. She hugged him goodbye and wished him good luck and to be safe.

"Okay dad, be careful, don't get hurt this time please, and have a good season. See you guys when you get back." She hugged her father and then her brother, "Bye bitch." She laughed as he squeezed her.

"See ya puss." He laughed back messing up her hair, "And don't go looking for Jake Harris while you're here, he's nothing but trouble!" Scott hollered after her as she got into the car she rented for the weeks she'd be out here.

Adrienne was only 22, but she had a thing for Jake since she was 17. He was of course 27 now, making him 22 when she liked him so it wouldn't have worked at the time. On her 18th birthday, knowing she liked him, he decided to take her out. They got really close, really close in fact and even started dating a year later. Phil and Jonathan never objected since they had been close friends for a ridiculous amount of time, but soon after Jake got into some problems with drugs, and Jonathan feared his daughter would be next.

By the time she was 21, she was addicted to pills. In the two years they'd been together, she had been smoking weed and popping pills around the clock for about a year and a few months. When her father found her, she was passed out on his couch with a pill bottle next to her, she had overdosed. Jonathan and Scot nearly killed him, and both fathers got both of them into a rehab. Adrienne came out recovered, not wanting to ever be in that situation again. Jake however, couldn't stay clean to save his life. In and out of rehab he went.

Even though she was old enough to make her own decisions, Jonathan didn't want his daughter dating his friends' boy anymore. He was trouble, and had nearly cost her, her life. He didn't want it to happen again. She went to college and got her business degree, planning to open a small salon or clothing store. She hadn't decided yet. Everyone was just glad to have their Adrienne back. Although it was always a worry when she came up here, they didn't want her to fall into his clutches again.

She drove along the docks slowly searching for the boat. She wasn't planning on going on it, but once she saw Josh and Jake she felt the need to. What if they found out she was here and didn't come say hello? Phil would probably chew her father out. They were already rocky with eachother due to the whole drug issue. She was surprised to see Jake. She wondered if he was clean or just pretending to be. She could see the cigarette smoke coming out of his mouth as he tied the pots in the same red sweatshirt he always wore.

"To go or not to go…" She pondered to herself thinking of all the possibilities and effects it could have. Josh had always liked her, in a friendly way, and she would've loved to see him, but Jake always held a special place in her heart, and she just wanted him to get better so they could be together. It was a constant struggle to try and get over him.

Finally, she pulled up alongside the dock and climbed out of the truck. It seemed to be all they had available at the time. That's of course the reason she drove so slow. With each step that brought her closer, she got more and more nervous. Her heart started pounding as the voices came into a clear understanding as she approached.

Josh looked up, his scruffy beard and mustache taking over his entire face practically. He too had a cigarette in his mouth and smiled as he noticed her. He waved her over to the side he was working on and slowly helped her climb onto the ship, "Fancy meeting you here." He joked, "What brings you to hell?"

She laughed like she always did when Josh spoke. He was always the humorous one out of the two brothers. Jake had his moments, when he wasn't fucked up, "For some unknown reason my friend wants to have her wedding up here. Guess that's the mind of a future fishermans wife."

"Oh yeah? Who's the guy getting hitched?"

"Matthew…or Mac something….you know I really don't know. Kinda sad now that I think of it." She said to herself almost. She was terrible with names, especially ones that had to do with 'outside' people.

"Wanna come say hi to pops?" Josh asked almost halfway to the galley. She rushed over going through the small door that led inside. She shook for dramatic effect as a signal she was freezing. Josh laughed, 'Hey dad, we have a guest." He announced as they walked up the stairs.

"Josh I don't have time for bullshit, you know I'm very-" Phil ceased his sentence once he was facing who it was, "Well, I'll be damned. Daddy let you over here?"

"No, so don't say anything or I'm gonna get my ass beat." She crossed her arms, "I was passing by and figured I should come say hello since I knew if you found out I was here you'd chew my dad out for not allowing me to grace you with my wonderful presence."

Phil laughed, "Well you've distracted Josh, have you distracted the other one as well?" Referring to Jake. She shook her head no, "Josh get your ass back to work damnit. You're not being paid to talk." Josh obeyed and made his way back on deck.

Jake walked out from the same door Josh did and Adrienne watched as Josh started explaining what was going on. He pointed over to the window and she quickly moved her head, "So how is he?" She finally asked as the boys went back to their work and she could creep again.

"Claims he's clean. I bought a couple of those home drug tests in case he starts acting funny. Plus I'll probably do it every few weeks."

She shook her head, "That's good, it's what he needs." She agreed. She hadn't really talked to Phil since everything had happened.

"How about you? You doing good?" He always cared for her like a daughter.

"Yeah, you know taking it a day at a time. I haven't really wanted to do anything like that since rehab. Of course it gets annoying that I have to tell a doctor I can't have pain meds due to a previous addiction, but you know it happens."

Phil shook his head. He was glad she was doing better, and he wished it would've rubbed off on Jake. He knew Adrienne had to get away from Jake in order to keep herself clean but he always hoped she'd come back to help him, "He misses you." She looked over at him, "He won't admit it, but he needs you."

She sighed, she didn't want to be hearing this right now, "He needs to get help and stay clean for awhile. It is possible and he's only hurting his chances the longer he continues down this path. I can only wait and hope for so long." She answered turning her attention back to the deck.
